<p>This menu item opens the help file (this file) at its default page.</p>
<p>You might see the following dialog instead:</p>
<p>
<img border="0" src="../images/mnu_help/nohelpfile.png" width="303" height="136"></p>
<p>which means that you haven't yet <i>installed</i> the help file.&nbsp; Click 
on the link in the dialog to open your browser at the <b>Explorer++</b> download 
page, and download the file (<i><b>Explorer++ Help.chm</b></i>) using the <b>
Help File</b> link.&nbsp; It may be in an archived (i.e. zip file) format; if 
that is the case, extract it first, then follow the next steps:</p>
<ul>
  <li>the help file <b>must</b> be named <b>&nbsp;&nbsp; Explorer++ Help.chm&nbsp;&nbsp;
  </b>&nbsp;(its default name), and</li>
  <li>the help file must be located in the installation directory, i.e. the 
  directory housing the executable (<b>Explorer++.exe</b>).&nbsp; Move it to 
  that location.</li>
  <li>You may need to &quot;<i>Unblock</i>&quot; (i.e.. right-click file
  <font face="Arial">&#8594;</font> Properties <font face="Arial">&#8594;</font> Unblock) 
  the help file after extracting.&nbsp; The file may be blocked from usage by 
  Windows' security routines.&nbsp; It is a <b>safe</b> file.</li>
</ul>
<p>As of the <a href="../history/history.htm">current version</a> of <b>
Explorer++</b>, (context sensitive) help using the <b>F1</b> hotkey is not 
implemented.&nbsp; Only the Help menu item is functional.</p>
